Here's a link to a good story. The mayor of oak brook, in addition to pulling in 4 pensions, also has a job making 64 grand doing something counting license plates. Yes. Counting license plates. And getting 4 pensions.

 For the past 4 weeks, I have been subbing for a guy on medical leave from his job at an assisted living facility.  So, I have been pushing carts of diapers, oxygen tanks and other supplies.  It is more strenuous work than I have done in a long time.  And I have lost 14 lbs in those 4 weeks.  I forgot what it was like to be tired and sore at the end of the day.  As I tell people as I push my flatbed cart full of supplies "I'm really glad I spent 5 years getting my MBA".  but, it is nice to be busy.  I think I have a week or 2 more of this gig.  Then hopefully the project I was originally going to work on will restart.   At any rate, golf season has started. I played the last 2 weeks, and wasn't bad.  I need to shoot 85 this year.  And I will.  Getting ready to watch NASCAR Talledega race.  Is there a bigger waste of a Sunday?

The very un-winterlike weather continues.  Hopefully right on into spring.  after last winter, we were owed this weather.  the governor of the most poorly run state in the country will be giving a speach about how he is going to help families with jobs and tax cuts.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-quinn-state-of-state-20120131,0,2511116.story this is the same genius that raised the corporate tax rate to the point where companies are leaving Illinois in droves...but, so are the individual taxpayer....heeyyyy...maybe this guy actually is a genius...you force enough people to leave the state and relocate to a more affordable state, and there will be jobs created, assuming those people that fled had a job when they left.... you are very smart, mr. fudd..very crafty

I am sitting in front of the tv, having a martini, watching the senior skins game.....watching 4 old men play golf for a lot of money.  Is this it...is this what a 52 year old does for fun on a Saturday?  I guess 6:00 pm on a Saturday in January doesn't provide a lot of options, but it seems a bit over-slothy (if that is a word) to be sitting in front of a tv watching this crap.  At least I should wait to watch the NHL skills challenge later, or maybe a Jersey Shore rerun... and I might - after I finish this martini and get up to make another one.  I only drink them because I like the olives.  My doctor said to have at least 10 olives per day, and if I put 2 in each martini........ have a good saturday night.
